Customer Reviews

I wasn't quite sure if it would work for me since I'm plus sized and really not a fan of sleeveless stuff. But it's gorgeous, versitle and the way it drapes is very flattering. I love the colour and feel of the fabric and can't wait to wear it to Rome!

Great material but poor fit

Love the feel of the material but definitely not made for someone with curves and a bigger bust. Couldn’t do most of the styles of dresses as the snaps would come apart way too easily and the material didn’t give enough coverage over the bust

Great quality fabric, clever design

The fabric is very luxurious and the design is clever. I did not realize that the snaps would be so visible on the shoulders of both the wrap and Grecian dress options, which was a bit disappointing because I was hoping to wear it to a Christmas party. I do think this piece would be amazing for travel though and I love the colour and quality of fabric. The instructions booklet is not very clear but the videos online are excellent. I chose the maxi size (5’4” & 195lb) and it fits well to wrap around but it is much too long at mid-calf.

Great in theory.

The fabrics is stretchy And clingy. Which for my body type, is very unflattering. I totally wanted to love the Chrysalis Cardi, the multi function sounded awesome, but no matter how I tried it on, it looked bad

Much too big

I ordered the maxi based on the size chart as I am 5'4 and 185 lbs. It was way too big. So I have returned it and ordered the medium which fits perfectly.
I am also not pleased with the fact that I was charged return shipping. When purchasing a high dollar item such as this and the fact that I was exchanging not straight returning, it seems like the company is penny pinching to charge return shipping. Especially for a company that only has one physical store.
